So I didn't make the cupcakes last night because I had to walk home last night and was too tired when I got home. I'm kind of glad I didn't because plans for today fell through. My boyfriend isn't going to his college today. I woke up early on my day off to make cupcakes.

When I woke to a text saying he wasn't going, I used that opportunity to make myself blueberry green tea and to track my Teavana package and it looks like it should be arriving today. I am also planning on going on a nice, long walk after I finish my cup of tea and am done blogging. I guess I'll just see what today has in store for me since there's no use stressing out when I don't have to go to work today.

I think I'll spend the day walking and relaxing. I may even bring my book with me to the park and read there. It is really nice to go walking while kids are in school and those who are working are at work. I've been feeling uptight and stressed lately so why not use this day to give myself mental/physical healing? I have nothing better to do and I now have a clear schedule. I guess it really does help to look on the bright side.

I'm really excited for my Teavana package to come since I've been waiting for it and because I'm going to brunch on Saturday at my godmother's house. I want to taste the teas so I can say personally which I like most and experiment with how sweet they should be. I am also in charge of making something to bring up there.

Does anyone have any healthy recipies that I can bring up in an hour-long car ride? 

I want to bring something healthy that I can enjoy too. I know there will probably be not-so-healthy things like waffles or pancakes and pastries (oh my! sorry, it sounded like the Wizard of Oz in my mind where Dorothy said "Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!) there. I want to be good and eat well. I won't have much time to get in a work out since we are leaving around 6 am or so. I can't work out after because we will be staying until I have to leave for work. So I really have to make this count.

I am looking forward to seeing what today brings. Maybe after I relax a bit, I may catch up with my friend who I barely get to see anymore. Maybe she will want to take a walk with me?

 

Things I'm grateful for:
1. Looking at the bright side even when I feel negative
2. Good friends
3. The internet (so I can track my packages and make new friends)

 

Stay strong and good luck friends!
